[bi-hop]

having read the manga now... I still think they're t4t but in a new unprecedented fashion. I have no idea what's going on with Laios, but take my hand...

[screechingsandwichhologram]

anyway. victor frankenstein spends the book running away from and demonizing his femininity which implies that he is transfem or at least not cis and repressing it. in this essay i will

So is the Creature from Frankenstein trans-coded or am I dumb and self projecting?

Do you wanna be my boyfriend? Do you wanna be my boyfriend? Do you wanna be my boyfriend? Do you wanna be my boyfriend?

You're not just any type of girl My one true love And you're my world

Something about the nebulous nature of gender across three of my favorite classic characters and the ones who love* them.

*Love here including the good, the bad, and the gothic.

Currently in the process of re-reading Frankenstein, and maybe this is just me projecting, but I'm definitely getting gender vibes from both the title character and his creation

Consider: Victor is in constant, visible despair over his inability to confess a truth that he knows nobody will believe, his abject fear of being labeled a madman, while his family repeatedly makes well-meaning but painfully inadequate attempts to lift his spirits

The parallels with the monster are arguably even more direct; created in a hideous body, abandoned by the one who gave him life and forced to fend for himself in a world that hates him for how he was born, eventually consumed by both internalized self-loathing and a desire to lash out at those who've wronged him

So we all agree Victor Frankenstein is a transmasc icon right?

[s3janus]

If you could suspend your disbelief enough to buy that a teenage university student was able to discover the secret to creating life, and with this knowledge made an 8 foot tall creature out of human parts in the attic of his dorm room, I think you could reasonably believe that the said university student would also be able to give himself top surgery

[selfproclaimedmadscientist]

Looking exactly like Victor Frankenstein would literally solve all of my problems forever.

[screechingsandwichhologram]

victor frankenstein is trans. i don't care which way but he does have gender Things and it is in fact an important part of his character

Chava and Lichinka vibes. Victor Frankenstein × Creature coded T4T couple and self-deitification.

The cure to gender dysphoria is dressing up like Victor Frankenstein actually

I refuse to accept any cisgender explanation for Wagner making a homunculus in Faust pt II
